Hi,

First of all, remeber that your git repository of GEGL is a clone, you
can mess it up however badly you like without affecting everyone elses
repo. When you get push access you need to be more careful though ;)

When you have cloned, create and checkout a branch to do your work on:
git checkout -b gsoc2009-adaptive-resampler origin/master

Then do your changes. Make sure to commit often. In general, the more
commits the better. Commits are easy to squash together but it's more
work to separate a single commit into two.

You don't need to switch back to master, to rebase with origin/master,
just do:
git pull --rebase

while you are on your gsoc2009-adaptive-resampler branch.

And note that in the end, it is not a matter of creating "the patch".
Rather, your delivery should be a series of git commits created with
git format-patch origin/master..gsoc2009-adaptive-resampler -o output-folder

You then tarball the output-folder and send it to us, preferably
coordinated through #gegl on irc.gimp.org.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask further quetions if you need
clarifications.

Oh and a final thing, make sure to look at gitk --all after each git
operation so that you can see what is going on.
